This book analyses the nature-nurture controversy and recent history and methodology of behavioral and psychiatric genetics. It discusses genetic reductionism, determinism, heritability, "free will," and quantitative and molecular genetics. New genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that produced a "paradigm shift" in the subject are reviewed, as are genetics of personality and schizophrenia.
